See option 4. GUIDED MUSEM/EXIBITION TOURS Option 4 – Exhibition: «A remedy from that faraway land. Laboratory of global medical cures», starts 10:30 Plants, diseases and cures. Sharing experience and knowledge: The Portuguese and Spanish Discoveries of the 16th century greatly expanded the boundaries of the known world and opened the way for encounters between people who were very different from one another in physical terms, and above all in terms of culture. Medicine, particularly as a therapeutic practice, was an area in which different cultures often came together to share experience. Of course, it was also a weapon in the struggle for supremacy waged between the explorers and the indigenous peoples. Sickness and health are a major element in human life, and they have an impact on various areas of the cultural life of every community, in particular religion. During the period of expansion, therefore, exchanging remedies was not the sole preserve of doctors; the clergy and the adventurers themselves were also involved. Fernão Mendes Pinto’s account of having cured the King of Bungo, in Japan, whom he found “sorely afflicted and troubled with gout”, and having been unable to move or rise from his bed for years, is one example. The king asks the skilful Portuguese traveller for “a remedy from that faraway land” and is administered a diluted Chinese powder, which proves to be extremely effective. The globalisation promoted by the Discoveries was a complex phenomenon, whereby the aim of domination coexisted with a genuine rapprochement between cultures, with a view to the creation of a world without borders, open to different expressions of our common humanity. Meeting point: Padrão dos Descobrimentos. Your guide will be wearing a conference t-shirt. Visit will be guided by: Diana Rato How to get there: Train: Estação de Belém Rail : 15 Bus: 728, 714 , 727, 729 , 751 Note: This tour is around the same area as the guided walking tour 3, Belém.

  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.

  • International Literary Program
    PROGRAM & GUIDE International Literary Program LISBON June 29 July 11 2014 ORGANIZATION SPONSORS SUPPORT GRÉMIO LITERÁRIO Bem-Vindo and Welcome to the fourth annual DISQUIET International Literary Program! We’re thrilled you’re joining us this summer and eagerly await meeting you in the inimitable city of Lisbon – known locally as Lisboa. As you’ll soon see, Lisboa is a city of tremendous vitality and energy, full of stunning, surprising vistas and labyrinthine cobblestone streets. You wander the city much like you wander the unexpected narrative pathways in Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, the program’s namesake. In other words, the city itself is not unlike its greatest writer’s most beguiling text. Thanks to our many partners and sponsors, traveling to Lisbon as part of the DISQUIET program gives participants unique access to Lisboa’s cultural life: from private talks on the history of Fado (aka The Portuguese Blues) in the Fado museum to numerous opportunities to meet with both the leading and up-and- coming Portuguese authors. The year’s program is shaping up to be one of our best yet. Among many other offerings we’ll host a Playwriting workshop for the first time; we have a special panel dedicated to the Three Marias, the celebrated trio of women who collaborated on one of the most subversive books in Portuguese history; and we welcome National Book Award-winner Denis Johnson as this year’s guest writer. Our hope is it all adds up to a singular experience that elevates your writing and affects you in profound and meaningful ways.

  • Lisbon, Portugal
    John Morgenthaler [email protected] www.triplenickeltravel.com 772-777-1448 LISBON, PORTUGAL OVERVIEW Introduction The hodgepodge of historical periods and cultures represented in Lisbon, Portugal, is a major source of its charm and travel appeal. A sprawling city on the banks of the Tagus River, Lisbon constantly reminds travelers that Portugal has been conquered several times, that it developed (and lost) its own illustrious empire and that, for much of the 20th century, it isolated itself from the rest of the world. But when Portugal joined the European Union in 1986, it experienced a major economic boost. A completely new quarter sprang up on the banks of the Tagus. Lisbon is modernizing fast as a European travel destination. As visitors to Portugal walk Lisbon's hills—or, better, take one of Lisbon's vintage trams—they'll find restored medieval facades, wonderful art-nouveau buildings, black-and-white mosaic sidewalks (known as calcada), fine museums and plenty of modern shops. Lisbon's citizens seem to have absorbed their city's many-sided character. Visitors can witness the popularity of fado, the melancholy music that developed in Lisbon in the early-19th century. Though the performers sing about tragedy and distant glory, the audience is very much a part of modern Lisbon—a flourishing, fashionable business and leisure center. Sights—Torre de Belem; Mosteiro dos Jeronimos; Padrao dos Descobrimentos; Se Cathedral; Elevador de Santa Justa; the view from Castelo de Sao Jorge. Museums—Centro de Arte Moderna Jose de Azeredo Perdigao; Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga; Museu Calouste Gulbenkian; Museu Nacional dos Coches; Museu Nacional do Azulejo; Museu Berardo; Museu do Fado.

  • Chiado Guide
    CHIADO (Shopping/ World's oldest bookshop “Bertrand”/ Historic “Cafe a Brasileira” / Restaurants / Museums / Esplanada’s) CHIADO is an elegant metropolis of shops, cafes, book stores, restaurants, museums and bars. Most of the buildings in the area date back to the 1700s but this neighbourhood will transport you back to the romantic times of the "Belle Epoque". When in the 19th and early 20th century Fernando Pessoa (Portuguese Hemingway of sorts) was penning some of his greatest poetry at the now historic art deco style cafe, BRASILEIRA. ESSENTIALS OF CHIADO: 1. RUA DO CARMO: A lot has changed but the essence and charm of the B elle Epoque remains in Chiado. Enter Rua do Carmo from its lowest end as you leave Rossio Square and let yourself be transported. Go and admire the P ortuguese Jewelry (Filigree) at J oalharia do Carmo, window shop the finely crafted gloves at Luvaria Ulisses , then see if you can find the secret elevator at the back of a small, unmarked cork shop to enter the Terraces of Chiado . A stop at the artisanal gelato shop, S antini is always a good idea too. Browse the artistic works laid out by their makers on picnic rugs to sell and enjoy the sounds of the resident buskers. WHERE: Rua do Carmo, Chiado WHEN: Public street, all hours HOW: 5 minute walk from WLFT 2. JOALHARIA DO CARMO: T he rare beauty of these two shop entrances (Joalharia do Carmo + Luvaria Ulisses) and their iconic Art Nouveau façades should not be overlooked, a meander around their interiors also gives an insight into Portuguese history and culture.
